Try grapefruit. I have one daily. Seems to boost your metabolism.

3.5lb off this week. Makes up for last week - Pleased.

Just thought I would check back on this post and see how people are doing - looks like every one is doing well. Good luck!!

Lost 7 lb in 2 weeks as I didn't go last week as i was ill.

Mug shots are 28p each at B&M bargains

2 pounds off this week. Pleased with it as I thought I might have put on.

4.5lb off this week. 1 stone in first 3 weeks. Can't believe it.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't see how the amount of something changes the syn value? If something is Free then you can have as much of it as you want. A portion of popped popcorn kernels would probably be the same amount as a portion of sweetcorn with a meal?

Just wondering if anyone can confirm syn values for plain popcorn. According to the Iphone app, plain popcorn is 4.5 syns but sweetcorn is Free? Just wondering why this is? Plain popcorn kernels are just the same as dried sweetcorn?

Week 1 -7 Week 2 -3 :-)

First WI lost 7lb :-)

First week WI -7lb.

I havent tried these yet - gonna pick some up at WI tomorrow -

Well done - Keep it up - i'm sure you will.

Well done - an inspiration for many.

I normally have fruit first thing to get my superfree i.e bananna or grapefruit then what ever I am having. Usually scrambled eggs or cooked breakfast. I make sure I have plenty mushrooms.

Gonna try this tomorrow - And serving suggestion above sounds delicious!!

I don't normally like mushy peas but I love pea and ham soup which I think is similar - Gonna give this a go.

Batchelors savory rice are free - Most of them any way - Only 49p at the moment in ASDA I belive. i take them to work with my and do them in the microwave.

I went last week for my pig out session before starting slimming world - Wouldnt know what to suggest health wise other than the salad bar and Diet Coke.

Mushrooms 1 pear 1 banana Rasberries Onions

On EE The sides arent too bad Rice - 2.5 syns Corn on the cob - Free Mains - Chicken Ceaser Salad 11.5 Quarter Chicken breast & Leg 7.5 Chicken Breast in Pitta Bread 25

I was kind of put off going to the cinema whilst on SW as I love a loarge popcorn but I will try the Boots popcorn as suggested. I guess you could also try making your own popcorn with the kernels. Would be syn free I guess. Coke isnt a problem - just go diet.

Has anyone tried the KFC style SW recipe?

SW mushroom dahl fromt he book - Wasnt that nice to be honest - Too much liquid.

Honk - 100% 4.5 syns - First weigh in tomorrow

You cannot judge one day after starting and also your body will be various weights througut the day - You should try to get weights at the same time and after the same routine each time you are weighed to give the most accurate reading.

vickiewood1983 stick at it - As you can see from the site it really work for everyone and shout up if you get stuck. Your weight now is what I am aiming for nearly.

There are usually loads of programs like this on SKY. This they are alled Half Ton Teen or something.

I think there is an large intitial outlay as you need to cook thing from scratch usually involving lots of spices and different ingredients but I spend the same if not cheaper. I batch make things so less food waste but healthy ingredients tend to be dearer.

Brilliant!!

I gave up about 7 months ago and don't miss it - I hate the smell of them when my oh smokes but she has stopped on Jan 1st. Very proud of her. It's the best thing I have ever done and gets easier and easier.

I use Weightbot -I just really like the interface - Can't remember how much it is as I have it installed now and can't see. Easy to set goals and track you weight on a graph.

KC and the Sunshine Band"Give It Up"

Honk - Day 6 - 5 syns .First weigh in tomorrow - :-)

Im nervous too about my first weigh in - It's dragging and just want some positive feedback and encouragment knowing I have lost.

When I used to smoke I used E-Cigs on the plane on long haul - I believe they are banned now?

Looking back at a friends wedding pics where I was an usher last summer - I'm getting married this year and dont want my wedding pics to be of me looking like that.

Probably already mentioned but I have stocked up on Muller light yogurts in Tesco. Love the Toffee and Vanilla 6 pack. Currently £1.56 for a pack. Picked up 4 pack on was home from work this morning.

Yes. Diet Coke Chicken,sounds strange but nice and Free on EE. I had it yesterday and the rest today at work. it was nicer after being left in the fridge over night as it was kind of marinated overnight in the sauce. Diet Coke Chicken (Slimming World) - YouTube Here is the link on Youtube. I...

Thanks Mini

Honk for me -Day 5. 5 syns

I don't weight myself but my other half does and she is always moaning about the fluctuations each day. Better to have the same scales one a week and then you know where you are at. If you haven't lost that week then review what you have eaten.

I love Melon at the moment. And raw carrots.

Depends how many syns you have to play around with. I have a small bag of Maltesers. 5 syns but if you eat them slowly they last a while or were you thinking of something of only a couple of syns?

4 days in and I have been having about 5 syns a day- I have between 70-100 a week avaliable. I have small some malteasers (19g) , snack a jacks or a curly whurly per day as a treat. I am trying not to have any other syns at other times. I think you should use all your sysns if it keeps you...

I agree with Brightonrosie. 1 pound is still a loss - Better that putting a pound on. Keep at it. Good luck.

Diet Coke Chicken Bachelers Mexican Savory rice Sweetcorn Green Beans And if there is any room a Muller light yogurt.

Welcome - I am new too. You will find all the support you need on here in the forums - I jointed Slimming World last week and enjoying it so far. Good Luck

Good to see the difference in the before/after pics - can't wait to post mine in a couple of months.

I also use beans instead of butter on jackets - I also like it with SW wedges and you don't use any syns having ketchup :-)

I started last weekn on EE and find it great however do you lose witght quicker on Green/Red days? I'm hoping to loose 3 stone by Aug and if there is a quicker way then I am willing to try it. I think EE is easily maintainable once your goal is reached.

Rara Lara & Saltdog I have added you as contacts - been good to track each others prgogress as we are all the same weight more or less. My weigh in is on Thursday. Cant wait for my first one this week.

Welcome Fatbill - Have you thought about attending a group? I joined Slimming World last week and find it really easy and great support fro the group. Good thing is it is something you can carry on with after you have reached your goal.

Very nice. We were looking at Thailand but the time of year didn't suit. We are going to Barbados & St Lucia. Good luck.

Hi. I'm not sure. This is 1 Butternut squash(peeled,de-seeded &diced) 1small potato 1onion 2 garlic cloves 900ml veg stock Salt n pepper Curry powder Boil for 25 mins and blitz in a blender. May be wise to add curry to taste at the end.

I know maybe not what you are after - but a nice chip shop style curry sauce can be made using the SW butternut squash soupe recipe and adding curry powder. Tastes exactly the same.

Check eBay - There is usually someone selling them cheap - Sometimes you might get the whole set for a good price.

I am getting married in August and want to be happy when looking back on my wedding pictures. I have a long journey ahead but hopefully enough time and I have the support.
